Re: The Red Sox Thread

Re: The Red Sox Thread

This was before tonight's game:

A routine question about what the rotation would be for the four-game series against the Royals that starts Friday set off manager Bobby Valentine. “Who cares who’s pitching? Why is this such a big thing?” he said. “There’s a lot of things going on that, unless we just want to start some stir on something, I don’t think there’s any reason to talk about it.”

Re: The Red Sox Thread

I just went over to SoSH to see the general reaction, and was rolling at this response:

Padilla just wanted to see a body.

That's about as good as it gets for the internet.

they say things like that a lot in their game threads about Padilla...like after he strikes someone out or something they will say he was working fast so he can get the game over with so he can get back to the bodies in his trunk...or if someone gets a hit, now he'll kill their family. it's so funny because he looks so insane.

I would have given him a pass on this one because his wife is 9 months pregnant and on bed rest and I can imagine it's difficult to leave her on your off day when you're on the road a lot...but then he went to Beckett's thing so my pass has been taken back.

Re: The Red Sox Thread

I agree with Ortiz..Lester seems to be a bit defensive.

David Ortiz, one of four Boston Red Sox players who attended Monday's funeral for Red Sox icon Johnny Pesky, said all of his teammates "probably" should have attended, "but I'm nobody to say who should and who should not (have gone)."

"Me personally, I was close to Johnny and when it comes down to his funeral situation, there's no reason why you don't show up when a friend passes away," Ortiz said. "I felt like I needed to be there for him and his family. Everybody has their particular reasons why some of the guys didn't show up. We came back from New York very late and some of the guys probably had some things to do that day and that's probably the reason why some of the guys didn't show up."

"If this is about Johnny Pesky, I'm not talking about it," pitcher Jon Lester said. "All it is is gossip, and has nothing to do with what's going on in here."
